Our family vacation volunteer program is one of the best ways to bond as a family and share your deepest values. Through our program, parents and children will appreciate the beauty of other cultures, and put into practice a motivation to serve humankind. Through the experience, many families have found their children appreciating their own culture and values. Our family volunteering vacation is a hands-on project. You'll visit locations that are safe as well as culturally rich and environmentally beautiful.
Benefits of Global Crossroad Family Volunteering Vacation
Strengthen your Family Bonds
This phase can range from 1–7 days depending on the time availability for your group. If your group has a limited time, the orientation just covers the local culture, religions, society, ways of life, safety issues, and program orientation. After orientation, your group goes directly to the volunteer project. However, If orientation is more than 2 days, we combine language, cultural immersion, and travel programs.
Work with Indigenous Communities
You'll work in communities where people value traditional relationships, elders are respected, guests are very well treated, and helping fellow human beings is considered a most important endeavor.
Extremely Well Organized
Our staffs have over 8 years of experience and have hosted over 8,000 happy volunteers. Your every need will be taken care when you're in the field. You'll be supported not only by the head office in the US, but also by our in-country coordinator, field staff and project staff.
